Gwin LeShelle Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I am a hoarder...XD for real.... I need tips!! I am in SL for 14 years now (longer break included) and my inventory has hit 330k item today XD I NEED TO SORT IT ... a little bit...maybe! I am a blogger and every month atm adds around 10-20k item (thanks to layers and so on) I sort of started some months ago with deleting some Demos, but I honestly don't spend that much time in SL usually I log on...forget about it and dilly off into the real world lol Then I come back...prepare outfits and take pics for the blog...oh and then usually I forget about it again and even forget to log off <.<...sometimes the cat fixes that for me x3 SO what are your secret formulas for fixing your inventory? Magic gnomes? You stuff the things under your pixel carpets and beds? You burn them in winter to keep your pixelbunss warm? I really really need to fix it haha because last september I had around 220k items and at this rate ...Linden Lab will ban me soon for being a messy XD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufferta Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I thought I had a problem. Seriously, if it isn't causing lag, you might just try to live with it. Is it causing problems? Are you having trouble finding things in your inventory? You might start with sorting a few things a day and labelling them as you go. I have found that a number of creators do not properly label their items: For example, they named their item "Irmgard's Amazing Gadget" when it is, in fact, a teleport door. If you add "teleport door" to the rest of the name it will be easier to find. I make subfolders, and as items in the subfolders increase I subdivide them even further, for example "Objects/Objects - Furniture/Furniture - Bathroom." Hope this helps. I wonder if anyone has more than 330,000 items in inventory? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairreLilette Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) I have begin to delete multiples and sort a bit. Some things I've done - deleted demos, deleted items that are not my body size and now delete all items that are not my body size when I buy something; taken all of one store's name and put everything in a box and then labeled the box that store name (this one I did because I bought a bunch of new items I'd prefer to get use out of now), I deleted almost all Classic clothing, keeping only a few tops I'd like to wear as an under-thing. All of these took about about three weeks. I am at 150K items. I have also deleted a lot of sculpty items I won't be using anymore as I am all mesh now. It's not easy, but if it gives you some peace of mind, decide how you'd like to sort a bit. Also, remember you don't need to keep all your items as you can get a redelivery. For me, it's that I have a bazillion textures I need to figure out how best to sort now. I need some kind of texture holding HUD, or something like that, where I can view a whole bunch of my textures at once.

Jordyn McGregor Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 What I do is when I open something I delete the LMs, NCs, opening scripts and alphas/body sizes I don't wear immediately and then move the unopened box (if its copiable that is) to a folder I call BOXED and once a month I put everything in that folder up into another box named for the month and year so if I ever change body or lose something, I can just reopen it. I'm a total hoarder too and still have all my system stuff from my early days boxed up in my inventory and have been playing with them as BOM layers!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norajulian Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Harlow Heslop has a great inventory organization tutorial Here. That being said - it’s going to take some time. Delete demos, non important notecards, scripts, and landmarks. Additionally, delete old system layers you know you won’t wear. Box up all those old neko tails and stompers from 2009 and put them in a time capsule in your inventory for a rainy day, for it would be a crime to delete them. Delete clothes meant for mesh bodies that you don’t own or don’t use. That should take a pretty big chunk out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Little Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I can only offer sympathy. 🤗 I think I have read all tutorials about sorting inventory. It always ends in: A. Not enough time. B: Not willing to set aside more time for work instead of play. I can take some time off and clear notecards, scripts, doubles and demos. I have even deleted clothes of low quality. But I hate it, it is so tedious. I have vented about this, why oh why can we not access our inventory without logging in? I have free time when it is not appropriate / possible to log in to SL itself. Of course we should not be able to delete anything - as a fail-safe - but it would be 100% better to move things into folders that can be deleted when we log in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne Little Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Listen, you who suggest to buy all sort of organizers, do you think about how to find time to organize it? These organizers does not fill up by themselves. It is bull* that it is easier than doing boxing up manually, or sorting in folders manually, when you, like me, have a backlog of almost 100 000 inventory. Reading about the CTS wardrobe made me groan. Literally. And doing it with 3 times as much inventory? I don't want to do it when I am logged in. It all comes down to hard, concrete facts: Have enough time, and prioritize it over other things. Or else these fancy organizers is just another gadget. Like in RL, you can buy all the gyms and machines you want, and showe them in a closet and let them sit there. But the first 3 party viewer that let me access my inventory without logging in, when I actually have time and want to sort a bit, I would pay 50 US to have something like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the first 3 party viewer that let me access my inventory without logging in, when I actually have time and want to sort a bit, I would pay 50 US to have something like that. There is no reason to take an attitude when I was just giving suggestions. I agree they are time consuming projects but taking some small bites can go a long way. Some quick things you can do to help declutter: 1. Get rid of old landmarks 2. Get rid of notecards 3. Use a script to find duplicates 4. If you don't have them yet, start creating folders to start cleaning up, such as Christmas, clothes (which I have many subfolders), furniture, etc. Do a search to be able to find these items quickly. Then you can go back and work on the folders little by little. By doing this, I was able to clean up my inventory so I only had the sorting folders at the bottom of my inventory. I did a similar thing under my Objects folder. Gratefully I started using folders when I first started SL so at least I had a little more organized mess. Take my advice or not. I was just trying to help. For instance, the majority of my textures came boxed (and I save them already boxed) so I quickly moved those boxes into a single box that has a script to read the contents without having to open the box. When it comes to holiday items, those are easy to throw into a single box that I rez at that holiday time. Getting rid of old landmarks and notecards are the two quickest and easiest ways to debulk you inventory. I think it would have been great to have some of the tools I mentioned in the very beginning so my suggestion may still help others who are new or have small inventories right now. I agree that I would LOVE to be able to work on my inventory when I am offline or to have some better tools to manage our inventories but if you have the time to do it offline, isn't it still the same amount of time you need to work on it?

They aren't saying it was a direct aftershock of the 2011 quake so the title is misleading. The fact that it occurred in the same vicinity as the 9.0 in 2011 does make it related since it involves the same tectonic plates in that area. I live in "quake country" in the US. I've lived here for around 15 years now so I'm not acclimated to quakes and I feel them when others don't even notice them. They're used to the tiny tremors. I'm not. lol Edited February 14, 2021 by Silent Mistwalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
